BAREFOOT PRODUCTIONS - WHO'S WHO:
Picture
Craig Hane, Founder
Craig graduated from Central Michigan University in 1985 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Performing Arts & Communication with a concentration in Technical Theater/Scenic Design. During the summers that Craig attended CMU he continued to produce the productions for F.A.T.E. as well was an instructor for Beginning Acting for the Farmington Hills Continuing Education Program for two years in a row.
In 1986 Craig accepted an Internship/Staff position at Colby College in Waterville, ME where he taught stagecraft and ran the Performing Arts Technical Theatre and Scene Shop. While in Maine he had the opportunity to direct several productions at the College and toured his production of Agnes of God to other colleges in Maine.
In 1989 Craig crossed the country to Santa Barbara, CA where he worked as a freelance Director and Designer until founding his second theatre company, Theater Pacifica, of which he was the Artistic Director until 1995. While in California he privately coached actors and was Scenic Designer for the Santa Barbara Shakespeare Festival. 
Craig returned his roots here in Michigan in the fall of 1995 where he continued his freelance work as director and designer for productions with: Farmington High School, Dearborn Heights Civic Theatre, Dearborn Theatre Guild.  Craig founded Barefoot Productions in the summer of 2006. He continues as Artistic Director of Barefoot Productions, directing and mentoring others, as well as working with volunteers to perfect set designs.  He has written theme shows i.e. Food, Glorious Food!, a song and skit production revolving around food, recipes and people who love them.  As Artistic Director, from inception to May 15, 2016 he oversaw the vision of Barefoot Productions.  Craig also continues to mentor, coach and inspire both budding and seasoned actors with their theatrical skills in both technical and stage work.  Craig is the manager for a busy internal medicine office, in Plymouth.

​Valerie Haas - Artistic Director
Artistic Director here at Barefoot Productions, and is indebted to Craig Hane for his years of dedication as Barefoot’s AD, setting a fine example of what the expectations of the job are.  Valerie holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Theatre from NMU and a Master’s Degree in Theatre from EMU, and has been acting and directing and producing and choreographing and whatever else needs doing in a theatre, for more than 30 years.  She most recently appeared here on the Barefoot stage as Arsinoe in The Misanthrope, and as the Nurse in Of Juliet and Her Romeo, both directed by her husband, Kirk.  Previously, she appeared as Peg in Desk Set, as well as in the ensembles of The Vagina Monologues, and  Food, Glorious Food!  Valerie has worked with several professional, semi-professional and community theatres throughout her theatre career, but being in the middle of it all as Barefoot Productions transitions from one facility to another has been the most exciting and challenging thing she’s done, maybe ever. Here’s to the next chapter in Barefoot Productions’ history…may it be as rewarding and as wonderful as the first chapter!
